Judging that Foresta was favorably receiving his attentions Dave determined upon the killing of them both. Thus it was that my dear Alene lost her life. She received a blow that was drawn to her by the wicked plannings of her foster brother. "Dave Harper supposing that he killed Foresta and Arthur Daleman, Jr., ran by home, made himself known to his mother and confessed all to her.
On each of these occasions he had taken more than a passing interest in Foresta. Her beauty was by no means diminished by the mourning attire, and Arthur Daleman, Jr., found himself admiring her, notwithstanding his hatred of her race. When the papers were signed in the second loan transaction which he witnessed, he said to himself with a feeling of satisfaction: "My way is tolerably clear."
In spite of the solemn assurances of the writer that the incidents depicted in "The Hindered Hand" are based upon actual occurrences, there has appeared here and there a slight air of questioning with regard to some things related. Particularly does it seem hard to believe what is told of the manner of the death of Bud and Foresta Harper.
"Excuse me, please," said Foresta, "but mama told me to tell you that breakfast would soon be ready." Foresta having delivered her message, for which she was thanked, did not at once turn to leave. Her pretty brown eyes nestling under equally pretty eyebrows, looked lovingly into the stranger's face. Without saying more, however, Foresta left the room.
Men gathered about him and forced his eyelids open so that he could see all. When it was thought that Foresta had been tortured sufficiently, attention was turned to Bud. His fingers were cut off one by one and the corkscrew was bored into his legs and arms. A man with a club struck him over the head, crushing his skull and forcing an eyeball to hang down from the socket by a thread.
Foresta was very glad indeed, as an early release enabled her to carry out some plans of her own. "Mama," said Foresta, her face buried in her mother's lap, "I have something which I wish to tell you." Her mother stroked her hair, and said, "Tell me, dear." "You know Mr.
One by one parties charged with offenses were called forward, fined and ordered released or passed back. At length the case of Henry Crump was called, and he came forward at a rather brisk pace, looking confidently at his mother and Foresta who had come prepared to lift him out of his trouble.
"Let me have a last, too," said Alene, tiptoeing to plant a kiss upon Ramon's lips, and thus the two parted. Light of heart, Alene went tripping to Foresta's room and said: "Foresta, as you know, the house is full of people who have come from a distance to attend my wedding. You need not stay here to-night. I will occupy your room."
On the same seat with Foresta and her mother sat Tiara and Ensal and their presence somehow gave added assurance to Henry. Henry made his statements, the witnesses were examined and in the monotone with which the police judge went through with all of the cases, he said, "Fined twenty dollars and costs." Foresta half arose, shocked at the amount, and Mrs. Crump crouched back in her seat in despair.
The tone of Foresta's voice caused her father to look up quickly and anxiously. "What are you crying about, my dear?" asked Mr. Crump. Foresta made no reply, but held out her hand so that her father could see it. "Poor thing; how did you hurt it?" he asked. "Don't think about that. Mama wants you. Come on!" said Foresta, averting her face.
